Here is the exact quote from JS:

That by no means says last year. Try to stay with the rest of the class.

His point is THE SUPERSTAR. Sal isn't denigrating his ability or right to start or making the team. But, being annointed a SUPERSTAR after ONE season.

You need to work on comprehension.
When was that "one season of play"? That's right, class, it was last year.

Don't go projecting your reading comprehension problems on me. :P

And it's mind-boggling that anyone can't understand why Romo's star rose so fast.

He plays a marquee position, he put up outstanding numbers, and he led a popular and success-starved franchise to some huge wins, and into the playoffs. Several of his best performances were in nationally-televised games, such as his first start in a Sunday night game, a victory over the previously-undefeated Colts, and the Thanksgiving game in which he threw 5 TDs and no INTs. All this as essentially a rookie---and one that started the season completely off many people's radar.

What else would a guy have to do in order to "deserve" being hailed a young star? It's not like his performance so far this season suggests it was a fluke.
